I wouldn't say the media "follows or leads"This presents the age old question: Does the media lead culture change or does the media merely follow what is happening in society ?
The media is in the business of making money. so its in their own self interest to "manipulate"
thats not what real leaders do. that's what corrupt, narcissists do.
I am not in support of the manipulation at all. I seek to empower women.
But a woman should have the "choice" to do what she wants to do
And all men need to start learning how to accept women's choices.
But that seems to be the issue
there are a lot of men who simply cannot function when someone does something they don't want.
Its a lot of really immature 4-year olds, stomping their feet and crying like a baby.
the problem is that as an adult male - these guys turn violent.
A 4-yr old doesnt scare me, but a 24 year old who is unhinged is a dangerous individual.
